'''Juan''' (Japanese: '''アダン''' ''Adan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of the Hoenn Gym in [[Sootopolis City]], where he replaced the former Gym Leader, [[Wallace]], in [[Pokémon Emerald]]. Like [[Wallace]] he will award the player the [[Badge|Rain Badge]] if you defeat him. He is very popular with the citizens of [[Sootopolis City]].

Juan is quite the celebrity type in Sootopolis, putting on shows with his Pokémon. He has many female fans, and is considered very dashing. In addition to being a [[Gym Leader]], he is a former winner of the [[Grand Festival]]. He appeared in The Great Eight Fate and Eight Ain't Enough when he battled Ash, who won the [[Badge|Rain Badge]] after a tough battle. He has a butler, Sebastian, who also serves as the Sootopolis Gym assistant. Juan uses unique rules in his Gym matches: the first round is a double battle held in a large swimming pool, while the other rounds are held in a battlefield that resembles a lake surrounded by land. Juan also makes a cameo appearance in a flashback in Playing The Leveling Field!.
